Three Cheese Spicy Cauliflower Cheese

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

Sea Salt/Pepper

3 tbl butter

2 tbl flour

1 cup heavy cream at room temperature

1 cup milk at room temperature

1/2 pound Pepper jack cheese cut in small cubes

1 1/2 cup (divided) grated asiago (or parmesan)

6 ounces goat cheese, cut into small pieces

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup sliced green onions and tops (reserve ¼ cup for garnish)

Place cauliflower on a parchment lined baking sheet.Coat with salt and pepper and toss and cover well on all pieces.

Place in pre-heated 200 degree oven for 20 minutes. Turn to grill for the last 5 minutes to get the pieces golden brown.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Over medium heat in a Crafond Elite Sauté pan, melt the butter. Blend in the flour making a paste and cook, stirring so as not to burn, for about 5 minutes. Slowly add in heavy cream stirring and blending. Do the same with the milk. Reduce heat to low and add the cheeses (1 cup of the asiago) stirring and allowing it all to melt.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the roasted cauliflower and green onions to the creamy cheese mixture and blend well.

Place Crafond Sauté in oven to bake making sure to remove the detachable handle for 20 minutes in a preheated 180 degree oven or until the top is golden brown.

Allow to rest about 10 minutes before serving. (Now the longer you let it sit, the thicker the sauce becomes!) Garnish with grated cheese and fresh green onions.
